"The goddess sprinkled

the juices of the herbs of Hecate

over Arachne; at that venom's touch,

her hair and then her eyes and ears fell off,

and all her body sank. And at her sides,

her slender fingers clung to her as legs.

The rest is belly; but from this, Arachne

spins out a thread; again she practices

her weaver's art, as once she fashioned webs."
